I have a report that utilizes a barcode font (3 of 9) for one of the report fields. We have encountered a problem where the report renders properly on the user's desktop, but when they print out the report the barcode font is not being used... instead we are getting the underlying data. Since the report is being displayed properly on the user's desktop, they obviously have the font installed on their computer. What do I need to do to ensure that the report will always print properly?
Thanks,
Wayne

Usually I integrated Winforms or ASP.NET to create a SSRS report with barcodes. And the control could be added as item on toolbox on VS, then drag and drop it to the report to create barcodes, it is easy.

Hi..

Have you tried to copy the bar code from the system and paste it in a word doc and print?
